USE
Operation
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat
knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position.
The appliance will start to operate.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can be
increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer)
by rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings
or reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher
settings.
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping
in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator
depends on:
room temperature;
how often the door is opened;
the quantity of food stored;
location of appliance.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to
position «O».
Important
If the ambient temperature is high or the
appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to
the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously
causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this case
the dial must be set to a higher temperature to
allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced
energy consumption.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator;
do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour.
Position food so that air can circulate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on
the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer(s).
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at
the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be
covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
GB
22
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned
as desired.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for
the production of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water, then put them in the
freezer compartment.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays
from the freezer.
Defrosting
During normal operation, the evaporator in the
refrigerator compartment becomes progressively
covered with frost.
This frost acts as a thermal insulator and must be
removed to avoid a significant reduction in the
cooling capacity inside the refrigerator and an
increase in energy consumption.
For complete defrosting, proceed as follows:
press the button in the centre of the thermostat knob;
when defrosting is completed, operating resumes
automatically; it will however be necessary to remove
the water which has collected in the special container
located under the evaporator.
